"Wherever Jesse Jackson goes the media usually follow and on Tuesday the cable news networks highlighted his arrival outside the Florida hospice care facility holding Terri Schiavo, but the day Jackson took the side of those wishing to save Schiavo, and put a Democratic face with those on the side of her life, ABC's 'World News Tonight' suddenly found the whole matter unnewsworthy," the Media Research Center's Brent Baker writes at www.mediaresearch.org. "For the first time in more than 10 days, the newscast had no Schiavo story and didn't utter a syllable about Jackson, but Peter Jennings found time to pick up on a liberal cause celebre, abuse of prisoners in Iraq, as he showcased how 'the American Civil Liberties Union has released' what Jennings characterized as 'a rather damning memo ... written by the former senior U.S. military commander.' "On CBS, Bob Schieffer gave a few words to Jackson. Of the broadcast network evening shows, only NBC aired a clip of him or showed any video of him," Mr. Baker said.
